First off to anyone planning on buying the pro controller from nintendo. Hori is making a wired one with turbo functions for less than half the price. Secondly I think most of the problems with the joycons would be alleviated if and when replacement joycons get produced with dpads. I think its safe to assume lots of third party joycons will be out there. Lastly while I think HD rumble is a waste of battery, Nintendo filed a patent for a google cardboard/gearvr like vr headset with the switch tablet.

I don't exactly know why, but the fact that Skyrim on the Switch is not the HD version really bugs me. For the third time in the 21st century, Nintendo hardware is one step behind the rest. Yes, some say its a handheld, but what company ever shipped a handheld with a tv stand and a controller to play on a tv, right out of the box. Some will choose to think of the switch as the best performing, best looking handheld on the market. Myself, having grown up with nintendo consoles filled with first and third party titles, just see it as another console that is far cry from Nintendo's past glory.

I am so hyped for Logan. X23 is one of my favorite characters but I never thought we would get to see a movie about her because she isn't as well know as some of the other characters in the X-Men Universe.

As for Xbox. About 4 months ago I bought a new laptop and as part of a deal it came with a free XBox One S. I did try to Sell it over the Holiday but had no takers. I am now going to keep it for the 4k blu-ray player. I have been looking to buy one for a while but they they all cost so much more then the Xbox. Also I have never played Gears or Halo so now I can finally try them out.

I'm anticipating the return of 4Player DnD. Something that'd be cool is to have props that help each person stay in character. I hear Brad wants to do some sort of spell casting class. Personally I feel he should be a bard and use his ocarina to play a song each time he casts a spell. I want Brad to become addicted to ocarinas in general so at the end of the year he can make a top 10 favorite ocarinas video.
